Teddy Bear Artist

Expressions by Linda Ashcraft

Linda is best known for her originality as a teddy bear artist. Her molded wool-felt-faced bears have given many collectors pleasure. She began making bears and other animals 16 years ago. Prior to that, she had lots of fun creating nylon stocking creatures such as silly moose, elk, bear, fish, old couples, and even life-sized beings. She craved some way to combine her love of soft cuddly creatures and the art of sculpting that she had done for so long. Wellah! ExPressions !
